1995 Map of Bogard Buttes

About this map

The high volcanic plateau of Lassen National Forest dominates this mid-1990s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by its prominent cinder cones and numerous alpine lakes. The eastern edge of Lassen Volcanic National Park and the Caribou Wilderness converge here, centered around high-elevation landmarks like Bogard Buttes and Black Butte. A legacy of forest management and seasonal residence is evident at Stephens Camp and the settlement of Bogard, while several small-scale resource extraction sites appear as pits and quarries scattered throughout the timber. Hydrological features are particularly dense within the wilderness boundary, ranging from Caribou Lake and Triangle Lake to smaller basins like Turnaround Lake and Gem Lake. The presence of an Earth Dam near Cowboy Lake and the open expanse of Upper Stephens Meadows reflect the historical use of these high meadows for grazing and water management within the Eagle Lake Almanor Ranger District.
